>I'am going down to St George and on up thru Hatch and to Panguich Joe, if you're going to be in Hatch with time that you can't spend productively researching, you might want to visit the remains of the dam that failed on May 25, 1914. There are some very dramatic stories of people escaping from the flood that resulted, and some even better stories of people acting like Paul Revere to warn their neighbors downriver that the flood was coming. It affected people from Hatch all the way past Junction, where the Piute Reservoir dam held fast and stopped the flood. No human lives were lost, although many animals were drowned and the property damage was huge. The damsite is just southwest of town, and the spillway and lava-rock covered hillside are clearly visible. When I visited, I just asked somebody on the street for directions. Make it clear that you want the old collapsed dam, not the more recent damsite. I did a quick search of my flood files just now, and the names Justet and West came up (although the West -- Earl West -- appears to have been a traveling salesman from Ogden). And I know I still haven't sent you the family data you wanted :-< Because of that, I hesitate to make promises to more people, but if any of you had 1914 ancestors in Hatch, Panguitch, Circleville or Junction, or any of the ranchland along the river between those points, you might want to drop me a line to see if I can find your family names in my flood file. Someday I'm gonna write the definitive history of that flood ... Best -- Ardis Parshall AEParshall@aol.com
